Section 6 PARkING BRAkE ADJUSTMENT WARNING Do not operate the mower if the parking brake is not operable. Possible severe injury could result. The parking brake linkage should be adjusted whenever the parking brake lever is placed in the “ENGAGE” position and the parking brake will allow the mower to move.
TRAvEL ADJUSTMENTS Neutral or tracking adjustments will need to be made if: A. The steering control levers are in the neutral position and the machine creeps forward or backward. (Neutral Adjustment, See Page 26). B. The steering control levers are in the full forward position and the mower pulls to one side or the other when traveling in a forward direction.
Section 6 Actuate the steering control levers forward and reverse several times and return them to the neutral position. Check that the drive wheels remained in neutral and readjust if necessary. Check that the steering control levers hit the stop before the pumps reach full stroke.
BELT ALIGNMENT Belt alignment is important for proper performance of your Scag mower. If you experience frequent belt wear or breakage, see your authorized Scag service center for belt adjustment. CUTTER DECk ADJUSTMENTS Cutter deck level, pitch and height are set at the factory. However, if these adjustments should ever need to be made, the following procedures will aid in obtaining the proper cutter deck adjustment.
